In today’s fast-paced world, it’s important to pause and give back to the communities that support us.

This week, Robertson Ryan hosted our 9th Annual Community Service Day—an idea that began as the dream of a few and has grown into a powerful movement embraced by many.

At Robertson Ryan, giving back is more than an initiative, it’s part of who we are. Our purpose extends beyond insurance, rooted in supporting and strengthening the communities we’re proud to serve. Each year, our Service Day brings that purpose to life as teams across the country unite to make a lasting impact.

2025 Service Day by the Numbers:
• 176+ volunteers
• 10 states represented
• 25 nonprofits served
• 704+ volunteer hours contributed

Volunteer days like these foster empathy, teamwork, and a shared sense of purpose. They not only provide vital support to nonprofits, but also create lasting connections and inspire others to get involved.

We’re incredibly proud of what our teams accomplished and deeply grateful to every volunteer who gave their time and heart to make a difference. Thank you to all our Annual Sponsors, especially our Titanium Sponsor, Integrity / Grange Insurance, for your partnership and hands-on support during our volunteer events.

Here’s a look at some of the incredible work our teams accomplished across the country:

  • Alicia’s Place – Volunteers spent the day assisting elderly and disabled adults with their daily activities by playing games, painting pumpkins, and enjoying visits from two puppies.
